North Dakota Power of Attorney Forms
The North Dakota Power of Attorney Forms are legal documents that can be used by anyone in the state who wishes to delegate their decision making powers to another party. Upon its valid execution, the party who enacts the Power of Attorney (referred to as the Principal) still retains the right to act on their own behalf. However, the party they delegate decision making powers to (referred to as the Agent) will be able to legally act on the Principal’s behalf in the listed matters and circumstances without requiring prior approval.
